at first we though the culprit was plugs, replaced those, then replaced the plug wires, still no good. so i've come to the conclusion that it must be the coil packs, i asked my automotive instructor and he said that must be it because when i touched the outside of my plug wires i got a hell of a shock, but the weird thing is that it was at the bottom of the plug near the boot. so i don't know how the electricity could leak out and zap me that far down, what do you think?
